In this course, you will be learning about smart cities, you will develop an understanding of urban infrastructure and the main principles for urban infrastructure management, , you will understand the key components that makes a smart urban infrastructure system. You will be able to learn from global case studies in Urban Planning. You will develop a special understanding of the Smart Transport & Energy Infrastructure. The course structure is : •Chapter 1: Introduction to Urban Infrastructure.•Chapter 2: Introduction to Principles of Urban Infrastructure Management•Chapter 3: Introduction to Smart Urban Infrastructure Management•Chapter 4: Introduction to Smart Urban Energy Systems•Chapter 5: Introduction to Smart Urban Transport Systems.•Chapter 6: Urban Planning Global Case Studies 1•Chapter 7: Urban Planning Global Case Studies 2•Chapter 8: Towards Smart Cities.The output of this course is that you should be able write smart city studies, such as writing the key components of a smart city strategy and write feasibility studies for smart city services, take into consideration the different challenges that smart cities might face when writing these studies. This course is a key enabler in the transition to smart city services in the city. This course is designed to be an introductory course in your city journey to provide smart services for it is citizens, there is no specific type of course enrollee, you can be an urban planner, you can be an engineer, you can be a developer who is building smart city services, you can be a real estate master planner. This course is a great asset for anyone who would be living, designing or developing the smart cities of the future. Urban planning, also known as regional planning, town planning, city planning, or rural planning, is a technical and political process that is focused on the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks and their accessibility. Traditionally, urban planning followed a top-down approach in master planning the physical layout of human settlements. The primary concern was the public welfare, which included considerations of efficiency, sanitation, protection and use of the environment, as well as effects of the master plans on the social and economic activities. Over time, urban planning has adopted a focus on the social and environmental bottom-lines that focus on planning as a tool to improve the health and well-being of people while maintaining sustainability standards. Sustainable development was added as one of the main goals of all planning endeavors in the late 20th century when the detrimental economic and the environmental impacts of the previous models of planning had become apparent. Similarly, in the early 21st century, Jane Jacob's writings on legal and political perspectives to emphasize the interests of residents, businesses and communities effectively influenced urban planners to take into broader consideration of resident experiences and needs while planning.
